To think mumsnet is a bit shrill at the moment?

[circumflex]

Lots if spats going on and everything seems so serious at the moment....MN used to be fun...

I suppose it depends on what threads you've been reading. I've had a great laugh tonight on the 'jealous' thread

Signal to noise ratio is definitely going down.

There's been a lot of new members who seem to have joined up specifically to cause arguments :(

Get over it.

used to be what when?

It's always been bunfights and serious debate.

and filth. lots and lots of filth.

It's no different now than when I first joined years ago. (I've deregged and rejoined since then!)

Oh, I tell a lie, it is. There is much more pandering to the dummy chuckers and lots of deleting. Used to be that people would say it as they saw it and if you didn't like it, tough shit. Now it is getting much more like netmums etc. Must not speak honestly, must sugar coat. apparently we are all too sensitive to be told when we are talking like twats.

I've hidden loads and stuck to more lighthearted threads. There's also a spot of lesbian titillation in AIBU. You can always find something to laugh at...

I think it is what you make it. There'll always be trolls and shit stirrers...not sure if they've 'just joined up' or if they name change..but if people take the bait, they're always going to do it I suppose.

spats where?

not had a good set to for fucking ages and i am bored off my bastard tits

I'll see you outside then.

It's the rudeness in replying to a pos that I find patheic - ok, disagree but there's no need to be spiteful, nasty or uppity in a reply!

Custardo you naughty lady! You obviously missed some of my bun fights last week! But I have turned over a new leaf...

Oi I'm new! But I'm here out of curiosty. And couldn't start a fight in a boxing ring.

If anything it seems a bit more judgy than the usual high judginess of mn. I do think there are less "funny" threads than there used to be. Understandable though since it became a media force, rather than a website for talking shite.

Ha ha manic - give it time, it is very easy to get caught up in it! I have been in loads of spats! But I don't ever go to a post where someone is asking aibu and give an arsey reply - that is what some do and it is just stupid, those people are looking for a ruck! But when people have been arsey in their replies to me that's when my temper rises and I start throwing buns! Lol

BOF.
Lesbian titillation in AIBU?
Where?
Please.

That sounds a bit grim, Blackletterday. I still talk shite, be reassured

Agree blackletter

I go to posts and some people - rather than just say I disagree and this is why and state their opinion, they just lunge into a tirade of namecalling and judgemental crap! Those kinda of posts offer nothing constructive and show people up to be spiteful and quite vile!

I just knew someone would ask wheres the lesbian titillation! Lol

DameShirleyKnot was a scream yesterday on the scrubbers thread.
IMO.
At least i think it was that thread.

LESBIAN TITILLATION.

WHERE...????

It's January. I'm always a snippy cow in January.

Happy to help MsKLo.

Lesbian titillation- to be fair, if it had been posted in Relationships, I would not have been quite so merciless.

BOF....just read that.

Baby doll pj's.

God i sound/feel old.

MrsKLo.
Were you

Oooh 'a bit shrill' - I think I've just found my new phrase of the week. I like that one!
